To whom it may concern,We are writing to inform you of an exciting new campaign to establish
a Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF) on our campus to make the
University of Washington the greenest campus in the nation. The
proposed Campus Sustainability Fund (CSF) is a major, student-led
investment in a greener, more sustainable campus. It will provide
funding for projects that increase campus sustainability, prioritize
student leadership and involvement, and educate UW students, faculty,
and staff in order to create a more environmentally responsible campus
culture. The creation of the CSF will allow students to set the
University's environmental agenda and create educational opportunities
in the process. It will create incredible opportunities for students
to get engaged and create a lasting, positive change on campus.
However, we need your help to make the CSF a reality on our campus. As
an organized voice for student interest at the University, your
endorsement of the campaign would be an invaluable contribution to
demonstrating student support for the CSF. We have attached a letter
of endorsement to this e-mail, which we hope you will read and discuss
with your organization. If you choose to support this student-led
investment in a more sustainable future for the University, please
respond to campussustainabilityfund@gmail.com with your endorsement.
Additionally, if your organization would like to learn more about the
CSF, we will gladly schedule a presentation for one of your meetings,
so please let us know as soon as possible. You can also find our
detailed proposal and answers to many of your questions at our
website, www.uwcsf.org.
We sincerely appreciate your time and consideration of the Campus
Sustainability Fund, and we hope that you will join us in supporting
this empowering commitment to protect the environment and to enrich
student opportunities on campus.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
The Campus Sustainability Fund Working Group
Attached is a pdf document with some work tasks that need help to be completed this week on the farm. There are plenty of ongoing tasks that need many hands and smaller tasks that do not have anyone working on them yet. To sign up for a task or mark off that you have completed something please do so directly on the copy of this document that will live on the door of the farm cabinet. Unsure of how to get started/what to do? Below are the hours this week that either the farm interns or members of the Dirty Dozen will be working. Finally, a reminder that there will be a work party this Friday, bring your lunch at noon, work till you stop/drop.

On Thursday, February 18th, UW Hillel will be hosting a social justice fair and hunger banquet where students and community members can get informed about issues related to food justice. The event will begin with a social justice fair at 6 PM where different organizations from UW and the Seattle area will provide information about various local issues as well as ways to get involved. The event will continue at 7 PM with the hunger banquet. This dinner will include presentations from two local activists as well as a simulation of food distribution in our world.
We like the work your organization is doing and invite you to host a booth for your group at the fair. This will be a great way to inform students, faculty, and community members of ways they can get more involved.
If you need more information or have any questions, please feel free to contact me at morganrc@yahoo.com. Otherwise, let me know by Wednesday, February 3 if your group would be interested in participating in the social justice fair.
Thanks,

Thanks for reminding us about the conference! Let's find a way for those who attend to make a report back to the rest of us on their experience.
With regard to the Cobb Oven schedule, I think it is important that we set a regular schedule and stick to it. Last weekend, another student farmer invited outside guests and they were confused about schedule change; they ended up coming on Monday but too late and missed the party. I have already invited people for the 2nd Friday of February. Can we confirm the start time for the next firing on Friday Feb 12th?
In terms of outreach, we want to be able to invite new people and other on-campus and off-campus groups to visit UW Farm for Cobb Oven Firings, and to plan ahead for this. A few things to consider are adding additional Oven Firings as there is interest, and training more people to operate the oven, and procuring more wood.
-Kristin

final push to make the garden ready for it's grand opening. We will be

Hope to see you there,

ps: Joanne, Rachel and I just threshed and winnowed our quinoa crop and we got about 6 cups of beautiful quinoa, while learning a bit about the ancient (and damn fun) art of winnowing!

You're invited to participate in a brain-storming discussion around planning a high-school science curriculum about Environmental Health, for the unit on Food and Food Safety. I'd love to see some UW Farmers there to enrich the discussion!
Background:
An outreach project organized by Dept of Environmental Health is underway, developing new materials to train high school teachers in cool science topics.
A seminar course is happening this quarter, and people not registered are welcome to attend sessions and participate!
more info on project and course: https://catalysttools.washington.edu/gopost/area/akharmon/52285
You may participate in one or both of two ways:
Participate in discussion online here:

I am a graduate student in Epidemiology program at UW SPH (School of Public Health) and am looking to build connections between UW Farm and UW SPH, as the Farm is developing plans to grow.
It is important for me to come up with statistics on the number of people, students especially, from SPH and related areas who are participating in UW Farm. I know I've met several of you already.
I'm looking to identify people aligned with UW Farm who are:
-undergrad or grad students in UW SPH
-undergrad or grad students in other UW Health Sciences Schools
-majors/minors in Public Health or similar at UW
-faculty/staff in these programs at UW
-alums of programs listed above
-studying or working in related fields areas, outside of UW
-or anyone interested in public health and connection to UW Farm
If you think you might fit any of those descriptions, please email me and give me your name and what programs or departments or majors/minors you are affiliated with (and an optional brief intro of your interests).
Response requested by 1/24.
Thanks!
